Projects Designed to Get Results

The purpose of the Dam Remediation and Outlet work project is to control seepage and internal erosion of the earthen portion of the dam. The project consists of a vertical concrete cutoff wall, chimney filter, void filler piles, downstream filter modification and steel liner within the principal spillway. AEI is under contract to provide construction materials field and laboratory testing and inspection in support of the project.

The 5-Points Intersection Improvement Project, joint funded between Coweta County and City of Newnan, converted an existing awkward 5-legged intersection at Poplar Road, Turkey Creek Road, East Newnan Road, and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to an Urban 4-Legged Roundabout.

AEI was responsible for the design and construction of the 535-acre development including an 18-hole par-72 golf course encompassing approximately 326 acres and a 360 lot residential subdivision encompassing approximately 209-acres.

AEI provided civil site design, utility design and coordination, environmental investigation, geotechnical investigation, ALTA surveying and permitting for the Meijer Retail Center (Store #272) in Bowling Green, Kentucky opened on June 5th, 2014. This 195,285 s.f. facility was developed on 20.3 acres off Westpark Drive. Some of the more challenging design on the project involved stormwater quality and quantity requirements driven by local requirements per MS4 mandates, particularly consider the Bowling Green area is dominated by “karst” terrain giving rise to sinkholes and cave systems that receive stormwater more directly than non karst areas.

Mainline alternatives were studied that would utilize the existing parkway bridges over I-65 or alternatives that would move the location of the interchange and provide new bridges. Maintenance of traffic was a primary concern for all alternates. The alternate for relocating the interchange required traffic to be maintained on the existing trumpet interchange, therefore, the existing ramps and bridges had to be incorporated into the maintenance of traffic plan. Of particular importance were the existing bridge piers that required additional merge and diverge analysis, as well as, weaving analysis to ensure proper traffic flow throughout construction. Phase II roadway and structural design also had to accommodate the widening of I-65 through the project area.

Our size, in many instances, is an asset to our clients. We can provide the flexibility much larger firms cannot offer. This pleases our clients and builds on our current reputation. We want you to be our client. We are extremely optimistic about our future and want to share it with you.

During a reflective moment not long after celebrating our highest revenue year ever and after receiving our PSMJ “Circle of Excellence” recognition, I dusted off our very first brochure, printed in 1983. In the cover letter I emphasized AEI’s advantages in two particular areas - size and flexibility - stating: “Our size, in many instances, is an asset to our clients. We can provide the flexibility much larger firms cannot offer. This pleases our clients and builds on our current reputation. We want you to be our client. We are extremely optimistic about our future and want to share it with you.” It strikes me now that my optimism was prophetic and that - amid an ever growing mega-firm environment – our size and flexibility advantages are just as prevalent today as they were then, even after we have grown exponentially in staff, services, talent, clientele and recognition. I am very proud of what we have been able to accomplish at AEI, the staff we have grown and the clients we have served. My feelings toward our potential have only expanded and accelerated. Another comment from that letter also is just as true as it was then – We want you to be our client. Look at what AEI has to offer. I know you will be impressed.

Teaming Opportunities
